to-day and six loaded bombs were found
hidden away in wooden hox which was
under pile OF newspapers in a
corner.
Some time ago Sheriff Matson decided
to search and clean out the cells of the seven
distinguished prisoners, and to-day was
set for the examination. Word was sent
blythe Sheriff to the friends OF the con-
demned saying that no admittance would
be given to the Jail, and this morning the
entire force of deputy sherifs reported at
the Jail for duty. 1t was shortly
after $50 O'Clock, when Lingg and Engel
were led from their cells to the consulta-
tlOn cage, and the search began. Engel's
cell was first entered and thoroughly ex-
amined. The bed and bedding were
looked over, cracks in the walls and table
thoroughly explored, and the clothing
hanging around the cell searched but be-
yOnd few empty cigar boxes, some fruit,
books and papers, nothing was found.

himself in a corner of his temporary prison

and trembled like an aspen leaf, as the
searchers moved around in the little stone
walled room. Suddenly two or three OF
the men inside jumped out to the corridor,
while third man held at arms length a
small wooden box, which he carefully
carried to the Jail office, and laid on Jailor
FOlse's desk. The box contained sixlpieces
of Gas pipe, each about six or seven inches
in length, tilled with some heavy substance
aud plugged at both ends. Jailor
Folse picked up one which was closed
at one end, with round iron stopper,
and one OF the officers pronounced it yer-
liable dynamite bomb.
Just then Sheriff MatsOm arrived at the
Jail and ordered that the dangerous weap-
ons be placed in the box and sent to a
chemist for analysis, though there was no
doubt a. to the result Of the examination.
Then the search was continued, but he

OF any kind were found. 1t was decided,
however, that il was best to change the
cells, and accordingly four apartments on
the lOw.r tier were cleaned out. Number

to the Jail, and between two rows of iron
grating, in which space three men are on
guard night and day, was prepared lnI

manufacturer was locked up. he was given
his bed, table, books and writing materials,
but everything else WAS kept from him.

All the prisoners except Lingg submitted
to the change and search without display

were not so greatly surprised as they NIGH
